(At the temple)

Steven carefully set the last Lego piece on top and smiled.

"Can I move now?" Connie said stiffly as Steven nodded.

"Yep! Now say hello to Lego Connie!" He announced turning the lego version around so Connie could see. Her eyes lit up in amazement.

"Wow Steven! It looks just like me but like 8 bit and stuff! Your such a great artist, I wish I was that talented." Connie said smiling but frowning at her last words. Steven frowned too and stood up.

"Your super talented! You can kick anythings butt and still look amazing!" Steven grinned seeing the girl smile.

"Thanks Steven." she spoke standing up and hugging him. Suddenly Pearl came in through the temple door looking out of it. She looked like she hasn't relaxed in a long time.

"Let's go you two. You know where to found me." she said quickly as she warped on the warp pad. Both Steven and Connie looked at eachother and smiled.

"Super secret teen team, Go!" They whispered rather loudly as they ran to the warp pad and warped away.

(At the Sky Arena)

Pearl was standing quietly in the center of the arena waiting for the teens. She mind was racing as she tryed to think steady but couldn't.

"What was she trying to say? Why does it hurt? I haven't cared until now it's-it's...nevermind. Pearl get it together! You must stay focus." Pearl said to herself not knowing the teens had arrived but were spying on her. Connie whispered something to Steven and he nodded with a smiled. He then lunged on Connie tickling and kissing her until their gems glowed brown and pink. Pearl turned around shocked at the noise and gasped. Stevonnie stood with a smiling face as she jumped down the stairs with ease. She was surprised to see Pearl staring at her with such surprise.

"What's the matter Pearl?" She asked before covering her mouth. She had a cute deeper female like voice.

"Well that's different. I guess it's because of Steven and Connie's growth along with how deeper their voices have gotten." Stevonnie chuckled lighty before Pearl cleared her throat.

"I'm afraid that's not all. Your taller too. Tall as Garnet." Pearl said still amazed. Stevonnie looked pleased as she pulled her, well Connie's sword out. Pearl did the same but looked distracted. Stevonnie noticed this and frowned.

"Pearl are you ookkkkk!" Stevonnie asked before jumping back just before Pearl slashed the air she had just in.

"Your enemies are not going to wait on you. You both know this." Pearl said with a slight egde. She hadn't meant to sound so irritated but she was. She could stop thinking about the orange gem. It drove her crazy. She yelped snapping her out her thoughts as she fell back. Dazed she looked up to see Stevonnie grinning.

"Pearl your enemies are not going to wait on you. You know this." Stevonnie copyed Pearl in a mocking voice but in good fun. Pearl smiled slighty and quickly got up.

"Your right. Now let's began." Pearl said with new found seriousness. She needed to focus. She quickly darted towards Stevonnie with the grace of a swan raising her sword for a lash. She was stopped however by Stevonnie grinning and got pushed back. Stevonnie came running at Pearl and their sword clashed everytime. Pearl tryed to sneak a secret jab but Stevonnie twirled like a ballerina and summoned Steven's shield protecting herself. Pearl was stunned but kicked the shield out of the fusion's hand surprising her long enough for Pearl to trip her. She fell before looking at Pearl point the sword in her face.

"Better but you still-!" She cuts off as Stevonnie kicked the sword out her hand while getting up.

"Its a tie!" she smiled excitedly. She then closed her eyes and glowed white. Out came Steven and Connie and this time without falling on their butts.

"Thst was so cool!" Steven exclaimed as Connie grinned wildly.

"It was!" she smiled hugging the boy. Steven smiled mischievously and pecked Connie on the lips. Connie gasped and playfully hit Stsven on the head. Pearl just watched as the two interact, blushing slightly at the kiss. She suddenly remembered and closed her eyes.

"Training is over. G-goodbye!" she said before running to the warp pad. She had to find her. Steven and Connie looked and smiled.

"S.S.T.T go!"

(Jasper's Cave)

"Jasper? Jasper?" Pearl called out before tripping on a rock. She gracefully got back up any to connect eyes with yellow ones.

"What?" Jasper snapped arms crossed. Pearl shook but took a deep breath which was stange because she didnt need air.

"Please. Tell me." Pearl pleaded earning a snort from the gem.

"I said forget it. Now what do you-!" Jasper was cut off by a furious Pearl.

"JASPER THIS IS NOT THE TIME! I NEED YOU TO TELL ME!" Pearl shouted losing her temper. Jasper was surprised at first but grew angrier by the second.

"YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!? FINE! YOU LEFT ME FOR ROSE. SHE WASN'T EVEN YOUR ORIGINAL OWNER! I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT BUT SHE MANAGED TO TAKE YOU LIKE A FUCKING ANIMAL! IT HURT AND TO MAKE IT WORSE, SHE HAD TO REBEL! I HAD TO FIGHT YOU AND ONCE WE MET EACHOTHER AGAIN, YOU CHANGED. YOU PRETENTED LIKE YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ME! YOU FORCED ME BACK INTO MY GEM AND ALMOST CRUSHED ME IF IT WASNT FOR THAT ROSE QUARZ!" Jasper exploded shaking the cave with her voice.

"Oh snap!" Steven exclaimed before covering his mouth. Connie shhhed him and leaned in closer to hear better. Pearl just stood there starting at the larger gem with tears.

Jasper and Pearl were unaware of the teens and they hoped to keep it like that.

"I'm so sorry. I loved you but loved Rose and-and Jasper I'm sorry!" Pearl started to cry making the bigger gem sigh. She picked up Pearl bridal sytal and wiped her tears.

"I just became so devoted to her. She just showed me so much love so much care. She was nothing like Whit-you know who. Just like you before the war. Its probably because I'm a stupid Pearl. I was made to serve. Im just a weak pathetic gem who needs constant aproval and instruction. I_!" Pearl was cut off by a rough kiss which slowly eased into a softer one.

"You talk too much Pearl plus I hate to see you cry. The war both changed us. I became heartless and cruel but I was only mad at the war. Mad at everything that happened. It changed everything. I couldn't see you anymore. You were fighting for the earth, i was already sour about that. I want you back Pearl. I lost you once and I'm not doing that again. I know i shouldn't blame Rose or be jealous of her, infact I respected her in everyway. She just had you." Jasper said still holding Pearl.

"Ugh. How do you make me talk all logical?" Jasper asked smiling with Pearl.

Rose. If you can hear me I want to say that I've found someone else. I know you never received my feelings for you but i understand. In you loving Greg we lost you but gained a sweet loving boy with your heart and mind. I've always loved Jasper. Sure it got lost but its found. I hope your happy for me moving on. Its probably want you wanted. You will always be loved and missed. Bye Rose.

"I want you too Jasper." Pearl smiled happily hugging the giant gem. Neither off them noticed their gems glowing untill it was too late. They glowed together. They were a fusion. It grew to about Sardonx's height. It broke through the cave and stepped out. The fusion was a light orange color with Jasper's orange stripes. It had four medium sized arms, not too beefy but not too skinny. Its hair was a very faint pink, went down to its butt and was in two ponytails side by side of eachother. It had four light green eyes. Its outfit was a dark blue green and had a v neck but a top similar to Pearl's. In the middle was a yellow stsr but in the center was a yellow diamond. It had long dark brown pants stoping at the foot. In the middle of it was a very dsrk blue green ribbion wrapped around its waist. It had tears on the ends. Its shoes were like Pearl's but had a small spike on the tip. It looked and itself and smiled. Steven and Connie gasped and ran to the see the fusion.

"GIANT WOMAN!" they screamed startling the fusion.

"Were you two easedropping?" the fusion asked with a deep female voice. It had a bit of roughness with it.

"No! Well, um, you look nice together?" Steven tryed to make an excuse but failed. This made the fusion laugh.

"Whatever. Hey what's that?" the fusion asked as the teen gasped in horror. A giant gem monster suddenly came flying from the ground by the cave. It looked like a giant monstrous mole. The fusion instantly snapped in action. As soon as the crystal gems and Lapis arrived on the scene they gasped in surprise. The fusion was beatting the living shit out of the the monster witout breaking a sweat. She dances around the attacks of the monster fluently but then switched up her style and punched the monster with all her fist. She laided countless punches on the monster so fast it was a blur then stopped leaving the monster stunned and hurt. The fusion then grinned and swirled untill its back was to the monster. Then she lifted one leg kicking the monster so hard it poofed mid air.

"Holy cheese that was cool!" Connie yelled beating Steven to it by a second.

"Dang it Connie!" Steven fake pouted earing a giggled from the girl.

"Is that Pearl and JASPER?! OH MAN THAT'S CRAZY!" Amethyst laughed while Peridot just started very shocked and surprised. Garnet grinned so hard, everyone thought it was stuck like that. The fusion grinned and flexed a bit. Liking the attention she was getting. Lapis found herself crossing her arms.

Fusion's overrated anyway.

"So what's your name?" Steven asked as the fusion grinned.

"Tiger's eye." (Or whatever dont judge im not the best with gem names)
